CARBOBOND KRYPTOSPHERE XT resin-coated high-density, ultra high-performance ceramic proppant
CARBOBOND® KRYPTOSPHERE® XT resin-coated, ultra high-performance ceramic proppant is effective at greater well depths, temperatures and stresses than any comparable ceramic proppant. CARBOBOND KRYPTOSPHERE XT also requires 20% less proppant by weight than any resin-coated intermediate-density ceramic proppant and 30% less proppant than any resin-coated bauxite ceramic proppant. It is designed with high cyclic loading tolerance, and the bonded proppant pack reduces the effective stresses encountered at deeper depths.
Features
- CARBOBOND KRYPTOSPHERE HD provides an ultra-conductive proppant as the substrate
- Specially formulated for maximum compatibility with complicated frac fluids used in deeper wells
- Bonded proppant pack reduces effective stress on proppant
- High cyclic loading tolerance
- Resin coating completely encapsulates substrate
- Bonds in the fracture with temperature and closure
Benefits
- Versatile—expands the usable application range (depth, temperature and stress) to replace intermediate-density and bauxite
- No proppant flowback—eliminates subsequent equipment damage, expense of cleanouts and disposal
- Maintains conductivity—resin coating prevents fines from being released
- Maintains particle integrity—prevents chemical attack on substrate
- No additional chemical costs—since no fluid chemistry change is required, the job can be pumped as designed
